Confluence Word doc export

users
#1

Hi,

I am trying out Atlassian Confluence, which allows the pages it manages to be exported in Word format (.doc). If I load such a file in Word, it works, but LibreOffice will instead first provide a "ASCII Filter Options" popup, and then opens the document as if it were a raw ASCII text file. Here is the start of the file (the entire file is attached):

The contents start as:

Message-ID: <2145210638.3.1342621542525.JavaMail.root@xxxx.xxxx.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/related;
       boundary="----=_Part_2_97107473.1342621542514"

------=_Part_2_97107473.1342621542514
...

It reminds me of an email. Does anyone know whatkind of file this is? Can it be opened as a Word doc. in LibreOffice?

Cheers,
Paul

Please post the file on Nabble or somewhere "public" and post link to the list. Attachments are stripped from the list.

Which version of .doc is the file being exported as? There are several of them, based on the different version of Office that they came from.

I wonder if the file is exported properly.

Yes, please use the other system, Nabble, to get the file to people, since this list strips attached files.

To be honest, I never heard of Atlassian Confluence. What are you using it for?

Hi,

The problem document referred to in my earlier email can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8bUb5ZVQs7iNUthMGs4Ry0xSnM
Like LibreOffice, Google Docs also cannot view it, though a link is provided to the original file, at the end of the line starting:
     "You can also try to download the original document by clicking"
(Here's a tinyurl to the doc too: http://tinyurl.com/btmkr2z ; it's called Test+Export+to+Word.doc btw.)

Many thanks,
Paul

Sorry, but the link[s] do not work, or show a document.

If you would like, you can email me directly with the document and I will see what I can see.

You forgot to show that it is an html document:

Actually it's an mht document. When open with Word: File|Save As|Save as
type: Word Document (*.doc). Now you can open in LO with all formating,
table boxes, etc.

LibreOffice doesn't have a filter for mht (mhtml - mime html) files, nor
IMO should it. It's not intended to be a 'document' format/protocol.

Why does it open so well in Word? Don't know, but I suspect it may have
something to do with one of the co-author's (company) of RFC2557...
I also wouldn't recommend using it. (that's a full stop, period)
